Our friend Brett Motiff went to see U2 in D.C. And Bill Horne saw U2 at Bonnaroo. And Kevin Goff was about to see U2 in New York. We talk to all of them, as part of our weeklong deck party in the suburbs.

Few music scenes seemed as vibrant as Athens GA in the 1980s. Friend Kevin Goff talks about his experiences there, plus the whole gang discusses the documentary “Athens GA Inside/Out” and some of the great bands that emerged from that college town.

Fear not, band nerds, you too can play on a rock song. Guest Dan Gursky, a French horn player, spins three famous tunes that feature that brass instrument. Also joining us in the basement this week is friend Kevin Goff.

Loved hearing about Patti Smith. There was a reissue of "Horses" that included a live recording from the 30th anniversary concert with the surviving band from that album, plus Tom Verlaine and Flea, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They played it in the album order, with the bonus single of "My Generation".
Also, Tug pointed out that she was best known for covers and played "Privilege (Set Me Free)", which was itself a cover of a song from the movie, Privilege by Paul Jones, the former singer of Manfred Mann's band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6otmvjZG_Vc
